Peter Pinnau commented on PDFBOX-3316:
--------------------------------------
Is there a way to read such comments with PDFBox? I tried the PDFStreamParser
but it seems to ignore % comments since they are not tokens.
I am searching for the possibility to identify content content streams which
contain a certain comment and remove that streams from the document.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3316
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 3.0.0
> Reporter: Jerrol Etheredge
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.2, 3.0.0
>
>
> For our application we use some comment texts (prepended by a %) to mark
> content and perform text replacement.
> We currently use the appendRawCommands() method to add these, but since this
> method has been marked as deprecated since version 2.0.
> Would it be possible to add some like a addComment() method to
> PDPageContentStream?
> The code would probably be something trivial like:
> public void addComment(String comment) {
> output.write("%" + comment + "\n");
> }
